Is there anyone out there that takes lexapro. I have been on lexapro since march 10 mg, however it makes me feel better to a certain degree. I have been diagnois with situational depression. My ? is it appears that this drug has taken over my emotions if i feel like i want cry i can't does this happen to any one else?

I have been on Lexapro for 6 months (10 mg) and about a week ago the doctor moved me up to the 20 mg. When I went in he said that the medication wouldn't "Make you gain weight" but that it would make you where you would eat more. ((I kinda see a RELATIONSHIP there!)) But seriously has anyone else had a weight gain on Lexapro?
I really do enjoy taking my anti-depressant. If I had known it would have helped as well as it has emotionally I should have talked to my doctor long ago.

I took lexapro for several months. It did not hinder my emotions, but it also didnt seem to really help me. It did help some, but not as well as other antidepressants that I had been on in the past. The reason I started taking it as opposed to the one I had been on was because it was said to have low sexual side effects. But, since it didnt seem to help with my depression and anger, I switched it. I am now back on Prozac and while I think it helps more than the Lexapro, it isnt giving me the results I need. I have also taken Zoloft and Wellbutrin in the past. The Wellbutrin made me feel like I was going crazy. My heart was always racing and I felt like a timebomb! NOt a good thing!
I would love to find something that truly made me feel like a normal, happy person again. I cant say that I have been happy in several years.
